power adjuster

any one ever crony'ed a 2240 with a power adj.? I'm curious about how low it will go for indoor shooting.

Here are two tests run on a 2240 using the power adjuster assembly from Crosman from the 2300T pistol.

thank you breakfastchef, that is what I was looking for. 412 fps still seems strong for a 15' range, maybe I'll just concentrate on my 1377c with maybe around 2 pumps. I sure do like my 2240 though. I suppose I could always go to a weaker hammer spring, but then you get into cartridge penetration. I tried airsoft, a Umerx Beretta, I pass more wind farting : >)

412 fps is perfect for 5m shooting. Go for it!!

I have a costumized 2240 that shoots 173 m/s

Pirouge,
I have a 2300KT that only gets 40something shots from a cartridge and I am planning to order and install a transfer port and a valve spacer from a 2300S into my gun to see if I can get closer to the 60 shots reported from that gun. I don't care much about the power, I'm punching paper with it and looking for consistency and efficient Co2 usage. I'll report back here with a range report when I get the parts installed. Might be a while as I am having cash-flow problems at the present time. I know that those two parts aren't much but I have a larger order I want to place and am being patient until I can order it all at once.
Cheers,

my .20 cal gets over 70 shots per cart in the low 300s with a power adjuster --- good for atleast 6 yards

but they look good!

I can attest to the valve reducer working well

I read that last week, thanks. I think I'll try the valve spacer and the transfer port. If that works, I'll probably leave it that way. If I need any further tweaking, I'll probably shorten the hammer spring a little at a time til I get what I want. If I go too far, I can always start over with a new spring.
Cheers,
